Bug Description
When the windows and ubuntu user accounts have the same name nautilus will try to use the ubuntu username and password when accessing a windows share. Nautilus will then keep retrying the same username and password even though it didn't work the first time. This causes my account to be locked out.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an Ubuntu account and a samba account with the same username but different passwords.
2. Set samba to lock out an account after 3 failed logins.
3. Attempt to access the samba share from nautilus. (File > Enter Location > "smb://
4. Nautilus displays a message that the path does not exist. The actual error message, as seen in the wireshark logs, is that the account is locked out.
Expected Behavior
After step 3 nautilus will prompt for user name and password to use to connect to the windows share. If the password fails, nautilus will prompt for a new password and not keep retrying the old one.
Workarounds
- Use smbclient, it will not attempt to use your ubuntu username and passward.
- Change one of the user names
- EDIT: using the same password for both accounts does not work
